The question of patriotism comes at an interesting time — Donald Trump's surprise victory was based on a campaign to "Make America Great Again," and in the UK, the Brexit vote in June was billed as a chance for voters to "take our country back." So where do both countries fit into the list?

YouGov asked adults aged 18 or over in 19 countries, with all surveys being carried out online in October 2016.

Take a look at how the countries ranked against each other below in terms of the percentage who believe their country is "the best in the world." In instances where two countries are tied in that response, both are ranked against each other according to the percentage in each who said that their country was "better than most other countries."
